St Mary's Hospital, Green Lane, Stannington (brownfield parcel)

Notes

Extensive former psychiatric hospital site in a rural location, comprising of a range of buildings and associated open space. The facility had originally been built in 1910 and operating for many years until closure in 1996. On becoming surplus to NHS requirements it then stood vacant and unused for a number of years afterwards. A redevelopment scheme would involve demotion of redundant buildings, possibly providing a mixed use scheme. An initial outline permission for residential, commercial and employment development was permitted in 2007 (CM/20060893). The partial clearance of redundant buildings was an aspect of the works. Detailed permission for 172 dwellings, through a combination and conversion and new-build was then approved in 2009 (CM/20080874). Subsequently, a number of further applications have been permitted for additional residential development and the clearance of former hospital buildings, increasing the overall yield to 270 dwellings (11/02980/FUL, 14/03197/FUL, 15/03676/FUL, 16/00221/FUL). The employment and commercial development from the initial outline have been subject to separate detailed applications. Brownfield element (c.10ha) represents around two-thirds of the overall development area - a yield of around 178 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 3318x) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 56.23ha. Alongside the residential development, the scheme also includes a wide variety of supporting infrastructure, services and facilities. Site works commenced in 2012 and a steady build-out programme has progressed since. Development of 283 dwellings completed in 2022/23.
